Really hoping to see some more action at FB and TE. Those are storied positions at NU, maybe not anywhere else but they were always key positions here. You get more activity there, it opens not only the i-form playbook but also makes the play action more efficient with two backs.
after seeing the process, i'm not worried about rhule's program at all. and the spring game will show you some things, but game 3 in the fall is the real indicator. this is rhule's year 2, expect the unexpected, in a good way. good to see you back. you're a part of my routine in the fall. peace bro.
I want to see Ryiola. There is so much hype on a Freshman, QB. Last year after watching the spring game, I predicted 5-7. The record was exactly that, 5-7. So let's see how they improved. This year, is a lot harder. We have to see mass improvement
Very true statement Connor, Buffs will be ready and formidable, this game will let us know just what the Big Red has and will be a benchmark game for the season…IMHO…a loss doesn’t mean we’re sunk, it’s just gonna let us know where the boys stand in work needed and weaknesses and strength, make no bones about it, looking for a little redemption…GBR🌽🏈🌽
Excited to see any throws Dylan, Heinrich, and Danny make. I’ve got a feeling this year will be the most fun Husker season since the Tommy Armstrong days.
@@beastlybruck3197 Even though I want Dylan to start I still want to see Heinrich on the field in spot plays he can bring a different element to the game
Stuff I’ve seen already from the spring game! 1.) Our second string Offensive line man are not able to create pocket time against our second string defense. It’s very worrisome for our rotations to not get gassed and lose in the fourth. 2.) Raiola hands down looks like a B1G starting QB. The pace of game doesn’t look fast enough but he looks amazing. 3.) we only have 1 quality RB. 4.) why do we still have recievers tipping balls upwards that hit them in the hands.
Thanks Conner. So many talking heads out there, but your videos are always informative and to the point. The rational for your opinions always feel solid, but your also not afraid to say when you miss the mark (which to me seems rare). These videos MUST take a lot of time, and that doesn't go unnoticed. Thanks again.
First and foremost, GLAD TO SEE ANOTHER CORN CRAZED VIDEO! Here is what I hope to learn with the Spring Game: 1) Do ALL our QB's look promising and know how to consistently manage the ball? 2. Have the number of turnover issues been reduced? 3. Will the defense be super solid if not exponentially better than last year? 4. Will the staff have more faith in using the kicker? While it is too early to make a prediction on the W-L record, I have the floor set for 6-6. GBR!
I agree with your QB depth conversation. A few times after the spring game, I've had the reaction of "Oh we're really in trouble if Martinez/Armstrong/Other QB1 gets hurt". Hoping we get some fun football from the 2s and 3s.
I’m not worried about that. He’s not a good enough passer on film to go P5 and he’s definitely got a role in this offense this year even as a QB2. I think he’s loyal enough to the school and team to stick it out!
Nope! I was in Japan for a week, then I went to DC and got home Monday. I’ve gotta work in the offseason so I can make enough money to do this during the season lol
Dallan Hayden who Colorado picked up is a stud. I’m a Buckeye and Husker fan bc of my parents and I’ve watched Hayden get pushed to the side for years. Kid has NFL potential
@@CornCrazed He should be but maybe Redshirt Sophomore. Had 500 yards as a Freshman and a little over 100 as a Sophomore before being put in the doghouse and decided to Redshirt.
Edward's is talented for sure. But pretty small. 175lbs is not built for 20+carries a game. Just an opinion. Is it worth a scholarship to burn after a pretty stacked room barring injuries
Good to see your segment again. As usual you raise good questions. I am interested in tight end usage, running game and turnovers. I think either of the three quaterbacks we have can help us win if the other parts of our game are sound.
Last year Jeff Sims was the "GOLDEN CHILD". The Coaching staff hoped that Jeff Sims had his turnover problem licked. He looked good in practice, but when it counted, in a real game, he folded like a cheap tent. How did that turn out for Nebraska Football? Jeff Sims caused 8 turnovers in two games, got benched for most of the season, came in for one series, I want to say against Minnesota and caused another turnover?, and lost the game? I would start Haarberg, at least he has actual game experience. The starting QB job should be Haarberg's , until like Jeff Sims, he proves he can't win games. Dylan Riaola might be a great QB, maybe one of the greats. Yet, until he gets under center, in a real game, he might be a lemon just like Jeff Sims.
Coach Prime is only there until his sons both graduate..............he will leave Colorado high and dry and though I don't particularly like the Buffalos I feel sorry for the team and their fans.
He needs to win at least 6 games. Also go to the old school, option run 70-30 run to middle range pass. And a 3-4 defense or 4-4 defense. I have yet to see the traditional Nebraska come back. Bring back Poleni!!
Weather forecast for Saturday is 77F...but with thunderstorms and an inch of rain during the day. Mushy. Just fine for TV viewers and the skybox set, but if you're sitting outside, I'll be thinking of you with my feet up.
Not worried about Raiola playing well, just worried about late October/November weather and wind interfering with his play, therefore the run game needs to be solid going late into the season.
I will wait to judge any QB until "they get punched in the face." There will be many key starters watching from the sidelines, Rhule wants to see the depth. This will be a glorified practice. I think they have been learning more from the 3 teams than they will this practice. This team still needs to learn how to compete when the butt cheeks get tight... Who is this Colorado and Sanders you were talking about, not sure I have heard them or it.
Looking forward to seeing the offense. What does it look like with competent passing game. Who shows up at RB1, WR1. Defensively, do we still look solid or take another step forward. Spring game is here, the season is getting closer. Let's Gooooo GBR ☠️☠️☠️☠️
@@CornCrazed To quote the Stinkin' Urinal-Jar, "The Huskers plan to play a traditional game with minor variations. Quarterbacks will not be protected by no-contact jerseys and special teams will NOT be fully live. Instead, the Huskers will kick and punt, but NOT have live tackling. Rhule said the scrimmage will feature Nebraska’s top offense playing against its top defense. He anticipated the Huskers’ top players taking the field for at least one play, though they may not see much action." I'm not sure how you can gauge how well players will compete under full game pressure without putting them under full game pressure.
We need like 20 guys to go. Covid is backfiring on college ball. They should have allowed 10 more scholarships with that extra year. A lot of kids lost out on scholarships because guys could hang on for 1 more year.
@@CornCrazed Like they say, wait a few hours and it will change. It would be just like a storm to cancel it for the public similar to Frost's first game.
Hey Connor. Instead of trying to shoe-horn fans I to little boxes that you can then straw-man to your heart’s content, just focus on what it is you think and why. For example, there are fans who don’t discount Danny - not for the reasons you give at all - but because he went all the way to the Elite 11 final with Dylan, won a portion of the competition, and finished extremely close to Dylan. If you consider the number of QBs that entered the Elite 11 (thousands), then any two QBs who finish in the final 11 are so close to each other that no one can say with certainty who is going to be the better college QB. Dylan has all the makings of a (insert over-zealous fan accolade here) QB. But it’s not as though Danny is some knock-off brand QB. Time will tell. If we had a gun pointed at our head and we had to pick the starter today, almost everyone would make the same choice. But let it play out - declaring Dylan the better of the two before either of them have taken a live B1G snap is nuts.
This comment is wild lol. I specifically said a majority has a balanced take on the situation and that a few fall into these categories. & they do 🤷🏼♂️. Dylan being the better of the two coming into Nebraska was so obvious based on play style and god given talent that I was comfortable to make those strong statements about him. There are VERYY few players I could ever say that about before they ever take a B1G snap, so when I had the opportunity to praise a player like that (and it’s justified) I did it haha
@@CornCrazedno where in this video did you say the majority of fans had a balanced view. I’m guessing you scripted it that way, but nope. Start around 4:20. Guess you should give a quick listen before responding - but it’s not like it matters enough for you to do that. Anyway, agree with 80% of what you have to say over the course of the past couple years, so keep on keeping on. GBR!
@@therileyobrien what I said he said is right, what he said he said is wrong - he did not say what he says he said and anyone can check the video. 😑 I also said, and anyone can read it, if we had to pick a starter today, almost everyone would make the same pick. What’s to feel silly about?
@@therileyobrien you should feel silly for believing they are “not even remotely close.” That’s dumb. You should feel especially silly for typing it out. Super dumb.

What're you looking forward to seeing the most on Saturday?
QB and RB battle 💯
Dylan Raiola
Really hoping to see some more action at FB and TE. Those are storied positions at NU, maybe not anywhere else but they were always key positions here. You get more activity there, it opens not only the i-form playbook but also makes the play action more efficient with two backs.
RB and DB rooms, and explosive plays from the QB position.
Looking at our new receivers.
QB’s/O-Line protection/ball security.
I’d look for a left tackle or RB

I’m just gonna throw this out there, Colorado stormed the field on a five win Nebraska team!
Not to mention 0-3 at the time
Colorado had 500 yards of offense

Excited to see any throws Dylan, Heinrich, and Danny make. I’ve got a feeling this year will be the most fun Husker season since the Tommy Armstrong days.
Big time pass game!
It even sounds like Heinrich is making big strides in his passing!
@@beastlybruck3197 Even though I want Dylan to start I still want to see Heinrich on the field in spot plays he can bring a different element to the game
Ball protection!
GBR!
SPOT ON regarding Colorado. Great take.
Glad we’re aligned!
Stuff I’ve seen already from the spring game!

The run from MAURICE
MAZZCCUA. He needs more touches to see if he should be in the top 2 for RB.
They are using Donte Dowdell a bunch but I haven’t seen enough to be impressed.
And then Dowdell scores.
Thanks!
Thanks, Connor. Excited to see transfers Jacob Hood on the O-line, and Elijah Jeudy on the D-line.
I forgot they had Jeudy haha, so much talent on the line !
Stop being nice to Colorado lol
Fixing turnovers

We 12 team playoff bound
🤞🤞
5-2 to start. 0-5 to finish, 5-7 and no bowl again!
@@huskerjpg must be miserable being you bro
I'm predicting 5-7 but, or 4-8. We need to win the first 4, otherwise no bowl.
Haven't made bowl game in 7 years
Haarberg trained with Jeff Christensen? That’s Raiolas trainer not the OC. 1 O is going against 1 D. Just some issues I heard in the video. GBR.
Correct & this video came out before Rhule’s presser announcing their spring game plans
good to see you back.
Turnover issue/pass pro
I don’t think about Colorado until the week of the game. They’re just another team on the schedule. GBR!!!
Joel klatt interview still in the works? 👀
I want him
Nebraska 5 win team
Spring is in the air baby..!! I'm looking at the O-line and like you said, the separation in the QB room.. GBR...!!!
Glad to see you post again Conner. I had been wondering where you were.
I was in Japan, then DC & back home just in time for the Spring Game
I agree with your QB depth conversation. A few times after the spring game, I've had the reaction of "Oh we're really in trouble if Martinez/Armstrong/Other QB1 gets hurt". Hoping we get some fun football from the 2s and 3s.
It’s been a rough go for backup QBs in Lincoln haha
What if Haarberg hits transfer portal?
I’m not worried about that. He’s not a good enough passer on film to go P5 and he’s definitely got a role in this offense this year even as a QB2. I think he’s loyal enough to the school and team to stick it out!
Excited to see Neyor and Banks! Thx for the shout out-GBR
I thought you were terminally ill or something. Glad to see you back
Nope! I was in Japan for a week, then I went to DC and got home Monday. I’ve gotta work in the offseason so I can make enough money to do this during the season lol

@brettduncan15 he’s an upgrade for a non existent CU run game
@@CornCrazed I agree, especially with Dylan Edwards leaving. Would love to see Nebraska make a push for him
Edward's is talented for sure. But pretty small. 175lbs is not built for 20+carries a game. Just an opinion. Is it worth a scholarship to burn after a pretty stacked room barring injuries
The most important question, which game you traveling to Lincoln for??
Maybe dowdel just isn't that guy. That's what I've been thinking all off season. With the lack of any word on him.
Hopefully he turns up soon!

They won’t show much defensive pass rush. Why show others what we willl do
In a way, Spring Games at any school are mostly happy gas for bored fans.
I don’t think many will leave he will cut some from scholarship play but say do this commercial to commentcat
They’re talking about Emmett over Dowdell because Emmett is a dude. Calling it now, Emmett will be the next 1,000 yard rusher for the Cornhuskers.
Ready to see it happen!

please dont say negative things about cali for the huskers. watched every national ship including 71
Those thumbnails 👌
Great stuff, as usual! GO BIG RED!!
How much do you think them "holding out" the guys with a lot of starting experience, will happen this weekend?
I think we’ll see some of that forsure, but I do think they want this to be a competition day, so less holding out and more rotating
@@CornCrazed based on what Rhule just said this morning, we’re bummed. Doesn’t sound like he intends to play them much.
@BigRedJunkies I haven’t listened yet, but it makes sense why he wouldn’t. I’m sure they want to prevent issues that could cost guys a season!
@@CornCrazed agreed. Though it is a bummer. Was really hoping to see some 1v1 for at least a series or two.

Haha I’m not sure I could call him a bell cow 🤣
I have a feeling it could be a game format practice again but no contact on qbs. Rhule always says practice how you want to play.
I don't think Ohio State will be playing to not hit our QBs.
